A Seasonal Anomaly: When Beach Chairs Meet All Saints' Day Flowers
La Marea
- The co-existence of beach chairs and plastic cemetery flowers in a local shop window symbolizes the abnormal prolongation of summer due to climate change.
The Loss of Seasonal Transitions
- Historically, weather began to cool by late August, requiring coats and winter preparations well before November.
- Traditional seasonal markers have been replaced by sustained heat that extends deep into the autumn months.
Tangible Climate Impacts
- Residential areas that once required no cooling technology now rely on air conditioning to cope with sweltering nights.
- The problem of extreme heat, once confined to early summer, now persists almost until October.
- The overlapping retail cycle of summer recreation gear and mourning flowers reflects a disconnect between traditional timeframes and the reality of a warming planet.
